Troubleshooting Problems Opening SSM Files

Typical SSM Opening Challenges

RealPlayer Removed

If you attempt to load your SSM file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SSM Files". Customarily, this means that RealPlayer is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SSM file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your SSM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Incorrect RealPlayer Version

Your Standard Streaming Metafile file is incompatible with RealPlayer because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version RealPlayer (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Standard Streaming Metafile file was created by a newer version of RealPlayer than you have on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SSM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening SSM files are due to having the incorrect version of RealPlayer installed on your computer.
